Enjoy the Fall Foliage at Lake Granbury




Mid-October is the beginning of the fall foliage season in Texas. This is the time of year when you see the most beautiful colors in the largest state of the continental U.S., and Lake Granbury is one of the spots where you’ll see some of the most incredible views.

The lake is located about an hour southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, which puts it about as close to where the West begins as you can get.

Lake Granbury has much to offer the serious recreational camper. With more than 100 miles of shoreline, the drives around the lake are gorgeous and scenic. Plus, there is a lot to do at Lake Granbury with more than 8,000 acres of water. Campers can fish, enjoy the lake on a boat, or hike the many awesome trails where you can get up close and personal with the fall foliage.

 

Fall Foliage in Texas is Diverse

The entire state of Texas is like an oil painting on canvas in the fall. The leaves change colors and fall from the trees, leaving a collage of reds, yellows, and a variety of colors on the ground like a royal carpet. Lake Granbury is just one of the state’s recreational areas where fall foliage is a heavenly delight.

The town of Granbury is a National Register of Historic Places. The courthouse square is famous for its beauty and historic importance. You can also take in live performances at the Granbury Opera House or enjoy a movie at the Brazos Drive-in movie theater. There is always something to do in and around Granbury, but especially at the lake.

No matter where you go in Texas, however, the fall season is the best because the weather is cooler and the foliage is beautiful, but Lake Granbury is one of the state’s finest features.

Lake Granbury

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 20)

GOOD. Water clear; 63 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Water temperatures are seesawing around the low to middle 60s. Recent rains have stained the backs of some creeks. Granbury has been releasing water and there are constant flows through the lake. Watch for floating debris especially on the upper ends. The best fishing reports are for catfish on the upper ends on cut bait. Some really large blues and yellow catfish to 30 pounds plus are possible. Striped bass fishing is slow to 10 pounds fished from Blue Water Shores to Decordova. Sand bass are fair on roadrunners and small minnows fished on the upper ends. Crappie catches are still best on submerged structures, but many are being caught in the river near Tin Top as well. Largemouth bass are slow to fair to 7 pounds on spinnerbaits and shallow diving crankbaits near main lake points and creek entrances. Report by Michael Acosta, Unfair Advantage Charters. Striped bass are slow. If you find a school of stripers your best bet is to wait them out to be in the right place at the time. They can be caught using umbrella-rigs, swimbaits or fresh shad. Fish are scattered from Decordova to the way up to Farm-To-Market 51 bridge. Report by Kraig Sexton, Sexton's Guide Service LLC, Fishing Charter, Marine Electronics & Whitney.
